Genesis 13

1 So Abram left Egypt and went back into the Negev along with Sarai, Lot, and everyone with them, as well as all their possessions.

Basa ma, Abram lao hela Masir, de baliꞌ nisiꞌ rae Negeb. Neu no sao na, ma basa hata-heto na. Odꞌi na anan Lot o tungga e boe.

2 Abram was very rich, having many herds of livestock and a great deal of silver and gold.

Abram ia, mamasuꞌin seli. Banda neꞌeboiꞌ, lilo mbilas ma doi fulaꞌ, nae na seli.

3 He left the Negev and traveled in stages to Bethel, back to the place where he'd camped before, between Bethel and Ai.

Mia Negeb ana lao lali-laliꞌ de baliꞌ nisiꞌ kambo Betel no Ai taladꞌa na. Dalahulu na, ana leo mia naa.

4 This was where he'd first built an altar. He worshiped the Lord there as he had done previously.

Ana o lutu mbatu fatu dadꞌi mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ boe. De beꞌutee neu LAMATUALAIN sia naa.

5 Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had many flocks, herds, and tents,

Lot, mana tungga no Abram, naꞌena banda neꞌeboiꞌ naeꞌ, ma atahori mana tao ues o naeꞌ boe.

6 so much so that the available land couldn't support both of them—they had so much livestock they couldn't stay together anymore.

Te mamanaꞌ naa nda loaꞌ, soaꞌ neu Abram no Lot, no basa hata-heto nara fo rasodꞌa sa. De manatadꞌa nara rareresi, huu uru nda dai banda nara sa. (Leleꞌ naa, atahori Kanaꞌan ro atahori Feris o feꞌe leo sia naa boe.)

7 Abram's and Lot's herdsmen were arguing, and in addition the Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.

8 So Abram said to Lot, “Please don't let's have arguments between us, or between our herdsmen, because we're family.

De Abram nafadꞌe ana na nae, “Lot, e! Hita ia bobꞌonggiꞌ. Afiꞌ losa hita esa nda maloleꞌ no esa sa, huu atahori mana tao ues tara ratofa rakandooꞌ a.

9 You see all this land that's available right in front of you? We have to split up. If you choose to go to the left, I'll go to the right. If you choose to go to the right, I'll go to the left.”

Dadꞌi malole lenaꞌ ruꞌa nggita saranggaa. Mamanaꞌ ia loaꞌ, de mete ma hii mala rae seriꞌ dii, naa au isiꞌ seriꞌ ona. Mete ma hii mala seriꞌ ona, naa au isiꞌ seriꞌ dii.”

10 Lot looked over the whole Jordan valley towards Zoar, and saw that it was well-watered, looking like the Garden of Eden, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

Boe ma Lot mete rereoꞌ, de nita babafaꞌ loe Yordan oe na naeꞌ losa kambo Soar. Mamanaꞌ naa maꞌasufuꞌ onaꞌ LAMATUALAIN osi na, ma onaꞌ rae Masir. (Leleꞌ naa, LAMATUALAIN nda feꞌe tao nalutu kambo Sodꞌom no Gomora sa. De rae naa feꞌe maloleꞌ.)

11 So Lot chose the whole Jordan valley and went east, and the two separated from each other.

Dadꞌi Lot hii nala basa rae sia babafaꞌ loe Yorden. De ruꞌa se saranggaa ma, Lot nisiꞌ seriꞌ rulu.

12 Abram went to live in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled down among the towns in the valley, setting up his tents near Sodom.

Te Abram leo nahati rae Kanaꞌan. Lot neu leo sia kambo-kamboꞌ deka Sodꞌom sia babafaꞌ Yarden.

13 (The people of Sodom were very wicked, committing terrible sins that offended the Lord.)

Atahori Sodꞌom ra, deꞌulaka nara seli ma nda nau rena LAMATUALAIN sa.

14 After separating from Lot, the Lord told Abram, “Look around you from where you're standing, to the north, south, east, and west.

Lot no Abram saranggaa ma, LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ no Abram nae, “Abram! Sobꞌa mete rereoꞌ basa mamanaꞌ mia mamanaꞌ ho mumburiꞌ siaꞌ a. Mete malolole deaꞌ-mataꞌ ma dii-ona.

15 I'm giving all this land you see to you and your descendants forever.

Basa rae fo mitaꞌ naa, dei fo Au fee neu nggo, mo tititi-nonosi mara, fo dadꞌi hata-heto ma losa doo na neu.

16 You will have so many descendants that they'll be like the dust of the earth. If anyone could count dust then they could count the number of your descendants!

Dei fo Au fee tititi-nonosi mara ramaheta onaꞌ saraꞌaeꞌ sia tasi suu na, losa atahori nda reken rala se sa.

17 Go and walk through the whole land in all directions because I'm giving it to you.”

De ia naa, muu laoꞌ rereoꞌ rae a loa-naru na. Te dei fo, Au fee basa naa ra neu nggo!”

18 So Abram went to live at Hebron, setting up his tents among the oaks at Mamre, where he built an altar to the Lord.

Basa ma, Abram se lali, reu leo baliꞌ sia mamanaꞌ deka hau-hau huu ineꞌ sia Mamre, deka kambo Hebron. Ana lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ, de beꞌutee neu LAMATUALAIN sia naa.
